- The new HBO mini-series The Third Day (36:25) and what exactly is happening with both the airing of the show and the content…
- Hulu’s new Lamorne Morris-starring show Woke (46:25) and how it’s a nice place to spend some time…
- The topsy-turvy NBA Playoffs (52:10) and what the Nuggets’ big upset of the Clippers means…
